This chapter describes the features and components of the Cisco 1538 series Micro Hubs

a part of the Cisco Networked Office stack, a family of stackable, desktop networking

platforms designed for small workgroups.

The Micro Hubs are stackable, 8-port, 10/100-Mbps, autosensing Fast Ethernet class II

repeaters with internal bridging.

The Cisco 1538M Micro Hub 10/100 (hereafter referred to as the "managed hub") can

be monitored through a web console or the command-line interface. This hub can

manage a stack of up to 3 additional Micro Hubs and serve up to 32 user connections.

The Cisco 1538 Micro Hub 10/100 (hereafter referred to as the "manageable hub") is

without internal management applications but can be monitored and controlled through

interconnection to a managed hub.

Either hub model can be a standalone networking device or can connect to other routers,

switches, and hubs to form a larger network. You can also stack and connect up to four hubs

through the rear-panel ports to form a larger network.
